Usually you do not do such a thing with QDir, but if you are to change current working directory, I don't think you can do that from within of an application.

The only way I know to do this is to change the working directory in the IDE (visual studio: Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Debugging -> Working Directory)

You may also want to look at following QCoreApplication methods:
@QString applicationDirPath ()
QString applicationFilePath ()@

[edit]

Ok, there is a much simpler way. Use following method to set current working dir:
@bool QDir::setCurrent ( const QString & path ) [static]@
